The one kicker to resurrecting the MILW line are the Saddle Mountains. Albeit a relatively short climb, the adverse grades are 2.2 percent. Distributed power would be needed on eastbound and westbound trains all the way from Spokane to Tacoma/Seattle. Is that a cost that makes sense? <br /> <br />Also, the Beverly Bridge across the Columbia River is situated in a place where high winds are frequent. At the east switch of Taunton siding was a signal that held trains from descending the Saddles in case winds across the bridge were too high. At least one MILW intermodal trailer train lost its trailers when high winds tore them off the flatcars. Double-stacks might be even more susceptible to this risk.
